Default United Bid

I got this email from United this morning. C'mon, like which one do you think will have the most and the highest bids? Let me sign off here so I can rush over and bid to have lunch with a United Exec...NOT!!!...

I'd do the simulator though.



Fly a Flight Simulator

Tour United's state-of-the-art Flight Training Center in Denver, CO and experience firsthand the rigorous flight simulators that help make United's pilots the very best in the business. Bid on Flight Simulator Experience.

You and a guest, along with two other lucky winners and their guests, will have lunch with Ken Feldman, VP Loyalty and E-Commerce, and get an insider's view on the direction of the company and new initiatives. Bid on a visit to World Headquarters.

How about a tour of Tilton's office to show where the strategy was developed to screw the employees out of their earned pension.

LOL Slice...oh, how your mind works!...I suppose though that if I were to date a pilot, a UAL guy would probably be more likely here in SFO.

What is up with that bid for a lunch with an exec thing? What girl would possibly think that would be hot?...well, maybe those who want the $$$, but couldn't handle being on their own if she had to date a real pilot.

On second thought, maybe this little bid will be a useful little tool to show the execs just WHO is more important to the paying passengers.

You know it has to be the pilots and the maintenance crews, but would the execs admit that? Probably not. My, what big egos they must have to even think that there would be many bids to tour the executive suites.

Slice, if I date a pilot, can he really take me to play in the flight simulator, or are you just yanking my chain again?...LOL

Sim time is $$$ but I would imagine you may be able to observe a training event and maybe get a few minutes of stick time if you knew the right person. I would depend on the instructor and possibly company policy.

My wife got a landing in a 777 simulator when I went through transistion school. Ticked me off - she made a great landing.

I am sure he can play with you any place you will let him, including a flight simulator.
